Photo by Testalize.me on Unsplash Moore’s second law, or Rock’s law, states that the cost of a semiconductor manufacturing plant doubles every four years. It is in line with the increase in transistor density, which demands high-tech and advanced solutions which directly contribute to the cost of semiconductor manufacturing plant setup. As more countries around the globe gear up to attract new semiconductor manufacturing capacity, the investment component becomes the more crucial one and much more than the semiconductor technology itself. High investment involves risks, and to de-risk any future unknown issues, government support is often required. It is where incentives come into the picture and help push private players into building new FABs and OSATs. How much it costs to build a FAB/OSAT: MIN-FAB: ~$1 Billion+ MEGA-FAB: ~$4 Billion+ […]
